Mendocino Purple Kush x Bubba Kush Strain Overview
Mendocino Purple Kush x Bubba Kush is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing two legendary Kush varieties: Mendocino Purple Kush and Bubba Kush. This strain represents a fusion of two iconic West Coast genetics, combining the deep relaxation of Bubba Kush with the vibrant coloration and sweet berry notes of Mendocino Purple Kush. The exact origins of this specific cross are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders in Northern California's Emerald Triangle region claiming to have developed it during the early 2000s as part of the Kush breeding renaissance.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a striking visual contrast between deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The buds typically have a tight, indica-dominant structure with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Mendocino Purple Kush x Bubba Kush is renowned for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, hash-like Kush notes with sweet berry undertones and subtle hints of coffee and chocolate.
As a true indica-dominant hybrid, this strain exhibits the classic Kush growth pattern with broad leaves and a relatively short, bushy stature. It has gained particular popularity among medical cannabis users and experienced consumers seeking deep physical relaxation. The strain's effects are typically described as profoundly sedating with a strong body-focused experience, making it a popular evening or nighttime choice. While not as commercially widespread as some other Kush varieties, it maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its potent effects and complex flavor profile.

Mendocino Purple Kush x Bubba Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor climates with consistent temperatures. Plants remain relatively short and bushy, typically reaching 90-120 cm indoors and 120-180 cm outdoors. This cross exhibits good resistance to common molds and pests but requires careful attention to humidity levels during flowering to prevent bud rot. The plants respond well to low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase. The strain's purple coloration is most pronounced when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures (10-15°C) during the final weeks of flowering.
